A little bit about me
Hello, my name is Deniya. I am a 24 year old, mother of a one year old son. I am new to this area and I’ve decided that I want to help out families with childcare. I have 3 years of facility experience with children from 6 weeks old to preschool age, but I will also care for ages that are older. I do have a Child Development Associate certification, and training in CPR/First Aid. I do believe that I am well qualified and very well liked by all parents that I’ve came across. Some may say that I tend to create bonds with their children as if they’re my own and they appreciate how much I care. I hope to continue to spread my genuine love for children through one of your families. I look forward to meeting you, thank you!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Taylor Woltmann! I am a premed student at the University of South Carolina. I am looking for a job as a nanny/babysitter during the school year. I will be starting my senior year in the fall, so my schedule is very flexible. I grew up with younger siblings and cousins, and I have been babysitting for the past 8 years. I have babysat for children from the ages of 3 months old to 15 years old. I do have a safe reliable car, and am comfortable helping with drop offs/pickups. I will always make sure the house stays clean, and I love all animals so pets are not an issue for me. I hope I can help one of the many great families in my neighborhood, and meet a lot of great kids!

A little bit about me
Hey parents! I am Hannah OBrien and I am a 21 year old rising Junior at the University of South Carolina. I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering (so I can help your children with their math homework ;)). I have 6 years of babysitting experience and have babysat for all ages, from infants to 10 year olds and also know how to give CPR. I also have my own car for transportation. I am in Columbia this summer because I am working as an undergraduate researcher at McNAIR with a professor here at USC. Because of this, I am busy the majority of the daytime on weekdays but I am free on week nights/evenings (usually free after 5-6pm) and weekends all day! So if you need a night sitter or simply someone to watch your children every once in a while on date nights, just let me know!
